2025 Builder's Edition 514CE - Kona Burst

From Taylor:

"The Builder’s Edition 514ce Kona Burst embodies Taylor’s commitment to innovative craftsmanship, player-friendly guitar designs and sustainable sourcing. Featuring a beveled armrest and cutaway, chamfered body edges and a contoured Curve Wing bridge, this Grand Auditorium is designed for maximum comfort during extended playing sessions. Shamel ash back and sides, responsibly sourced from Southern California, combine with a solid Sitka spruce top to deliver a warm, focused voice with woody overtones, punchy midrange, crisp trebles and a balanced low-end presence. Our V-Class voicing architecture enhances sustain, volume and harmonic agreement between notes. Excellent for strumming, fingerstyle and everything in between, this model excels in just about any musical setting. A hand-sprayed Kona Burst and lustrous gloss finish are accentuated by a firestripe pickguard, an Italian acrylic rosette and Compass inlays. The Builder’s Edition 514ce comes equipped with premium Gotoh 510 antique chrome tuners and ES2 electronics and ships in a deluxe hardshell case."
